Shang Wu looked in the direction she pointed.
At the entrance, a tall man got out of the car.
Wearing a black shirt and perfectly pressed trousers, with strikingly handsome features, he exuded a sharp and aristocratic air as he entered.
Shang Wu frowned slightly, looking at Lu Rang through the crowd.
At the last banquet, Lu Rang, as a lawyer, was able to attend.
Will Lu Rang be able to attend this charity event hosted by entrepreneurs?
Tang Xueli patted Shang Wu's arm: "Do you think it looks like it? I'm going to take a gamble!"
"Don't."
Shang Wu stopped her: "I know him, Lu Rang, a lawyer at Dingfeng Law Firm, not a member of the Yu family."
"...Ah, why is the lawyer acting so high and mighty?" Tang Shirley pouted, somewhat disappointed.
Shang Wu smiled, and coincidentally, she met Lu Rang's gaze.
When Lu Rang saw her, he didn't greet her, but walked upstairs with his hands in his pockets, looking like he was going to look for someone.
Shang Wu was momentarily stunned when someone suddenly wrapped their arms around her waist.
"Is it pretty?"
Zhou Yanci looked at her with a smile, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"Was that man even more handsome than me? My Ah Wu was completely mesmerized." Zhou Yanci joked with a smile, but her eyes were actually quite serious.
Shang Wu stiffened slightly, then smiled and shook his sleeve: "Of course I'm not as handsome as you, but it's only natural to take a second look at a handsome guy, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, just a little annoyed. Ah Wu, you said you would only look at me, and would always only look at me."
Zhou Yanci pursed her thin lips, her tone carrying a hint of accusation.
Shang Wu's smile froze slightly.
She did say that.
That was when we were kept in the dark and treated Zhou's words as divine pronouncements.
She truly felt that this world, which had saved her parents, helped her brother, and pulled her out of the abyss, was the best place in the world, and that looking at anyone else was a sin.
Right now, she wished she could burn Zhou Yanci like trash.
No, burning it would pollute the air.
It's more like it should be ground into powder and fed to dogs.
Shang Wu's expression remained unchanged as she gently cupped Zhou Yanci's face in her hands: "Yanci, I only look at you now too."
Zhou Yanci was appeased, so he pulled down her hand and kissed her fingertips.
"Awu, you can only be mine."
After saying that, he glanced up at the camera, seemingly unintentionally.
Upstairs, Lu Rang was leaning against the railing, talking to an entrepreneur.
When he saw Zhou Yanci look up, he glanced down very slightly.
Zhou Yanci kissed Shang Wu's fingertips.
She didn't react, still smiling, and gently withdrew her hand to talk to the others.
Lu Rang immediately withdrew his gaze, his calm demeanor so much so that the person opposite him didn't even notice he had lost his focus.
Shang Wu noticed nothing, stiffly withdrew her hand, and asked softly, "A few bosses were looking for you just now, aren't you going to greet them?"
"Okay, I'll go now." Zhou Yanci patted her head and turned to leave.
Tang Shirley clicked her tongue twice: "You two, why are you always so lovey-dovey wherever you go? When will this end? How am I, a single dog, supposed to live?"
Shang Wu's eyes flickered as he turned to look at her: "Don't envy me. Only couples who seem to be in love on the surface know the true feelings behind it all."
"What you're saying... makes it sound like you and Zhou Yanci don't have a very good relationship. Are you two okay? Everyone says you're going to get married."
Shang Wu smiled, her expression not showing too much resistance.
What everyone says isn't necessarily true.
Before Tang Xueli could react, she immediately changed the subject and talked about her time studying abroad.
Soon, everyone at the event had arrived.
After wandering around, Tang Xueli realized that apart from the incredibly handsome guy from earlier, she really didn't think anyone else had a similar temperament to the Yu family.
Shang Wu comforted Tang Xueli for a few moments, telling her to quickly hand over such valuable items to someone to take home before finally having time to go to the restroom.
She turned on the tap, filled it with hand sanitizer twice, and carefully scrubbed her fingertips clean until they turned red before stopping.
Last night, Zhou Yanci and Chen Mian had an affair at the company, and she was becoming increasingly unable to tolerate Zhou Yanci's physical contact.
Even just touching her hand makes me feel uncomfortable.
Shang Wu pressed down on the sink, trying to compose herself, dried her hands with a tissue, and went outside.
At the end of the corridor, someone was standing there looking at their phone.
Shang Wu hadn't paid any attention at first, but after glancing at it and preparing to leave, she stopped.
"Attorney Lu?"
She walked over.
Lu Rang continued looking at his phone, only looking up at her after two seconds.
For some reason, Lu Rang's expression remained calm, but Shang Wu still sensed that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
She asked, "Are you here for the event, or do you know anyone here?"
Lu Rang withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "It's none of your business."
Shang Wu frowned slightly: "..."
Why give her the cold shoulder when you're in a bad mood?
She wanted to leave, but then she remembered that she would need Lu Rang in the future, so she stayed put.
Do you know how I relieve a bad mood?
Lu Rang didn't respond, looking down at the building below.
Shang Wu handed him a mint.
"Eating this will make you happy. You should try it, it's especially delicious."
Lu Rang scoffed, "Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"
"You'll know once you try it, don't you dare?" Shang Wu smiled, peeled off the candy coating, and handed it to him.
Lu Rang finally turned to face her.
A fleeting emotion flashed in his eyes, so quick that Shang Wu could barely catch it; it was as if something had slipped away from Lu Rang's eyes.
Just then, Lu Rang suddenly grabbed her wrist, lowered his head, and put the candy in her hand into his mouth.
